Music that fits SSSS?

[Piney]

*Calls Piney, Vi, KauniitaUnia, Yuuago and the others Sigur Rós music's lovers* We may have an other fan here !

[Sumeri]

And in general for SSSS, I'd prefer Secret of Kells, although it's about Ireland...

waahhhh this soundtrack is so pretty, I've been listening to it on repeat for like an hour while drawing, so mysterious<3
getting a strong dreamworld-vibe from this, especially the beginning

Oh, I'm glad you like it!  And I'm not alone at listening favourite music on repeat while drawing!

[Sumeri]

Oohh yeah, sometimes when I draw for several hours, I listen to the same 1-3 songs on repeat the whole time helps to keep the atmosphere, like, if you're drawing something mysterious and cool then you gotta listen to something that gives similar vibes

Share the same feelings.  Just can sign under every word.

True enough, although in my case usually it's the song I'm writing

I should write something for SSSS.  Hmmm

[Sumeri]

So first some Finnish folk music (I don't know some of these have already been posted >_< )

...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4GChhuXGis Manan Unia by Suo ("Dreams of Underworld/Death")

Heyyy guys, I know I'm quoting a rather old post, BUT I was reading through this thread and came across this song and I liked it very much! But in the youtube comments there was someone asking where the heck the Finnish lyrics were. Well, I searched and searched ans searched some more but found nothing! So I decided that I'd write them down myself, and so listened to this about ten thousand times on repeat XD I think I managed to get it mostly right(though you may of course correct me if I've misheard a word or two).

So I thought I'd also post them here in case anyone wants to sing along! Here:

Chorus:
Läpi maan, läpi manalan, läpi kuu'en kirjokannen
x4

Uneksin manan unia, ja unia
Maan unia, puun unia, ja unia
Kuljen matkalla aavahalla, tiellä tuntemattomalla,
matkalla kipumäelle, ja mäelle

Chorus

Kipukintaat kä'essä, ja kä'essä
Jalassa kipujen kengät, ja kipujen

Vierin viikon, vierin toisen
Naisten neulojen neniä
Miesten miekkojen teriä, ja teriä

Chorus

Kipuvuoren kukkulalla,
Kivi on keskellä mäkeä, reikä keskellä kiveä, kipuja kokoelee
Ei kivi kipuja itke, paasi vaivoja valita
Ei kivi kipuja itke, ei kipuja

Spoiler: a quite rough(and literal) english translation as a bonus: • show

Chorus:
Through earth, through underworld, through six spectrumskies
x4

(a less weird translation of "kirjokannen" would be something along the lines of "layers of skies/heavens")

I'm dreaming the dreams of Mana, and dreams
Dreams of the earth, dreams of (a) tree, and dreams
I'm on a vast journey, on an unknown road
I'm on a journey to the hill of pain, and to the hill

Chorus

Mittens of pain in (my) hands, and in hands
On (my) feet the shoes of pains, and pains

Rolling for a week, rolling for another
women's needles' heads
men's swords' blades, and blades

Chorus

On the top of the mountain of pain
There's a stone in the middle of the hill, a hole in the middle of the stone, collecting pains
A stone cries not of pains, a boulder complains not of ailments
A stone cries not of pains, not of pains

it's 3 am and i can't think straight, so if there's a better thread for this, do inform me

[Buteo]

Sumeri, thank you for these lyrics.

[LordoftheThings]

With all the listening to music I do in the car, I've definitely found a couple songs I think go well with SSSS

A few Nightwish songs would probably be The Islander, and The Eyes of Sharbat Gula, if you're going for music for the more mystical elements.
And Alpenglow goes well for the whole story methinks

I also listen to a bunch of Of Monsters and Men when writing ssss fic oddly enough

[PaperArtillery]

For the ambiance, I guessing the whole soundtrack of Banner Saga is just downright awesome.

I just knew someone had to have beaten me to the punch on that one.  It really is perfect in a lot of ways, though.

[Basse]

I would say the soundtrack for "The Banner Saga" by austin wintory has some fitting music seeing how it's the viking-ish style and the lyrics are all in icelandic.


Edit: Seems like s everyone has said it already.......I just don't know how forums work yet......sigh

But there will be a sequel so maybe some new songs will be added.

[eyjafjallajoke]

I might have other songs that fit characters, not the comic in general though.

Also, I am a Sigur Rós fan!

Here's a few that might work at certain times:

[blackberryblossoms]

"Flight of the Silverbird" from Two Steps from Hell
I can totally imagine this going along with the SSSScrew's adventures.

[Eriaror]

Okay so someone sooner or later MUST do a choreography to Two Steps From Hell's Cannon in D Minor.
I'm clearly very very far from being some kind of warrior partier viking, but even I have a hard time restraining myself from blasting this on full volume, grabbing all nearby persons and hallingdansing around the room in a very epic fashion. (despite knowing perfectly nothing of hallingdans save for its name and that it is some kind of nordic folk dance)

And all I know of hallingdans (besides people attempting hallingkast and landing on their backsides) is FRIKAR who don't stay strictly traditional - people may know them as the dancers around Alexander Rybak in Fairytale - but yes I would love to see them do this
